Hihihi, new STi owner

Sup guys.

Been registered here for years but never really posted. Just traded in my 03 350z for an 04 STi. Found her at a nissan dealer and ended up paying nearly nothing. I'm coming from a pretty long line of previous awd/turbo cars (3 gsx's, and a 420awhp evo8) so i'm VERY happy to be back . the z was way too impractical for me and what I needed.

those pics are decieving, it's before all the damn body work i needed. i had like 10 dings, my ex keyed the whole driver side of the car, needed a new hood, bumper was ****ed up, the paint was in terrible condition.

not only that but
-the gas tank was huge and it ate gas like no other
-i live in nj and driving in the snow wasn't too fun, even with decent all seasons
-modding that car is a waste of time and money. parts are expensive as **** and i didn't trust that motor running f/i unless i built it. lots of time and money that i didn't want to have to deal with
-didn't like the visibility
-needed space. you don't know how much you miss having back seats til you don't have them

bunch of other stuff. basically, the z is a fantastic car, it's just not for me. i'm an all wheeler

Yep, I thought the outward visibility was downright dangerous. The storage space was laughable and the car is not very modable. Considering what I have spent on the WRX, maybe not modable would have been a good thing.

I considered a Z before the WRX. Visibility was bad, but in hindsight I think I could have gotten away with less storage space. (which was the only reason why I got the WRXover the Z). Oh well maybe if they make a 350Z replacement someday I'll trade the WRX for it.
